Main Ingredients:
- 1 package microwave popcorn, such as Newman’s Own Natural
- 2 ounces (56 grams) white truffle butter
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Activate the popcorn preparation by following the manufacturer’s microwave instructions, ensuring a perfectly popped batch of kernels.
- Simultaneously, place truffle butter in a petite saucepan over minimal heat, gently warming until the butter transforms into a silky, liquid state without scorching.
- Carefully transfer the freshly popped corn into a generously sized serving vessel, creating ample space for thorough coating.
- Artfully drizzle the liquefied truffle butter across the popcorn’s surface, ensuring an even distribution of the rich, aromatic essence.
- Sprinkle kosher salt with a delicate hand, allowing the mineral crystals to cascade over the buttered kernels.
- Employ a gentle tossing technique, rotating the bowl to guarantee each kernel receives a luxurious coating of truffle-infused butter and a precise seasoning of salt.
- Present the gourmet popcorn immediately while still warm, capturing the optimal moment of flavor and textural perfection.
Notes
- Let the popcorn cool slightly before adding truffle butter to prevent soggy kernels and maintain that perfect crispy texture.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt just before serving to enhance the truffle butter’s luxurious flavor and add a delightful crunch.
- Choose fresh, high-quality white truffle butter from specialty stores for an authentic and intense truffle experience.
- Keep remaining popcorn in an airtight container to preserve its crispness if you have any leftovers from this gourmet snack.
- Break up any large butter clumps while tossing to ensure every kernel gets an even, decadent coating of truffle goodness.
